iFly and Flowrider

We spent a few days in Utah with my family before leaving for Shreveport. My dad found this great place in Ogden where you can do 'iFly' and 'Flowrider.' iFly is for indoor skydiving and consists of a big Plexiglas tube with a HUGE fan at the bottom (protected by a cage, obviously). You jump into this thing and fly around. It was a riot to see.

Here is David in his sexy jump suit and goggles.

And here he is "flying." Notice the applause from the instructor...

or maybe he's praying that David won't die:)

After that, we headed to the Flowrider which is an indoor surfing wave. It basically shoots huge amounts of water out through big jets and you can surf or boogie board on the wave it makes. Well, that's assuming you don't get a concussion trying. The first few attempts for everyone were pretty funny, but after a while they got the hang of it.
